File deleted on host still exists in app container about docker-sync

[makproductions]

OS: MAC OS Monterey v12.3.1
Docker Sync Version: 0.7.2

Possible Cause:

The way i experienced this issue was to use git and checkout a different branch where some files in had been deleted. The deleted files did not get reflected in the container. So files which did not exist on host were still in the container.

Workaround:

I simply deleted the folder in PHPSTORM and then undo my delete. This forced docker-sync to delete the entire directory from the container and sync it again.
This might not be ideal for big projects as resync takes a while but if you know which folder is affected you can do targeted delete and undo.

Hope this helps someone out there until a fix is out.

@NikitaKharkov i'am sorry, i cannot invest my time here. You will need to jump on this yourself.

Same issue here : resolved if I choose gRPC FUSE on docker desktop not VirtioFS

I can say that in older (0.6.* I guess) version of docker-sync there was no problem with deleting files. Now I faced it again and again. For example, I rename the file and obverses 2 file in app folder: old and new one. And, of course, one in host folder

I tried to restart docker-sync, sync command - nothing happen until I manually delete the file.

My version is 0.7.2, image: eugenmayer/unison:2.51.3-4.12.0-AMD64

Small update - removing file from /host_sync folder while being inside docker-sync container seems to trigger deletion

@EugenMayer Can you investigate this issue? Just check simple renaming and observe the issue.
I don't think it adds some effect but I did it Symfony project.

@NikitaKharkov Did you figure out a resolution for this?

I have the same issue, latest Monterey, latest docker-sync, latest Docker for Mac... as it starts to happen after Docker for Mac update or Monterey update, I suppose, it is related to one of this software... Trying to figure out, what exactly is causing the problem... because it is really difficult to work now...

Same issue here : resolved if I choose gRPC FUSE on docker desktop not VirtioFS

Can confirm that the switch to gRPC fixes the file deletion detection issue.
thanks for the tip @Gu3!

I still have the issue, on MAC OS 12.6.3 with docker-sync v1.0.5, with gRPC FUSE on docker desktop 4.17.0
